Depends on how much BC scores. If BC is punting instead of kicking off, he might not get enough field to put up 400.

I'm not Daz... so I don't want to pick on the kid... but, that article was just terrible.
First, the offense has not been the problem this year. The Defense has been ridiculously underperforming... and the kid just glosses over that by conclusively stating Don Brown and Jim Reid are good at coaching D. The kid goes on to reference being a missed extra point away against Ped State. But, he fails to realize that the only reason why the kicking game came into play that day was because our D was absolutely atrocious. Christian Hackenburg made millions from that single game (a game where Third Down Donnie Brown gift wrapped a big win to his future conference mates).
Second, he complains about the lack of a throw game. In doing so, he fails to point out that the QBs have not been terribly good at BC. No one should want them to be a pass-first team. I get it... Kim can score at will when passing on 1st down on Madden Mobile. But, here is who he thinks should be airing it out: AB, Wade, Towles, Smith, Fadule, Flutie. That's a list of starting QBs since 2015. Our best QB under Daz has been Tyler Murphy, who was essentially a RB playing QB. Incredibly, Kim uses stats from that 2014 season to further his wish for more of a throw game. Our best passer under Daz was the final year of Rettig (who was only 61% for 1995 yards and 17/8 TD/INT... with every team trying to stop the Doak Walker winner). AB has the most potential... but, he is nowhere near fulfilling it. And, post injury, he has no mobility (which was a nice piece of his arsenal). Bottomline, ANY coach is run-first with that stable of QBs. If you want to complain about something, complain about the staff's inability to pick a style, recruit a QB for it and develop them. Don't stupidly rely on stats when the starters can't hit wide open WRs. That said, Millennials believe that all things they weren't paying attention to can be summarized by statistics... but, when they ARE paying attention, they are uniquely woke to offer a nuanced take.
Third, seriously. This kid is comparing McVay and the Rams (during Goff's best game ever) as the reason why Daz sucks. That is such an absurd comparison that it sinks the entire argument. It would be like Daz countering this by saying Bama's QB only throwing the ball 8 times on Saturday is proof that his run-first system is perfect.
I skimmed the rest of the way-too-long article. I'm glad he wrote it because it will be fun to watch ts and Meat Baum get all worked-up. But, dispationately, it is a pretty terrible piece of writing (both in style and substance). Some may say the author is to sports journalism what Daz is to modern offenses.

Completely disagree. Those throws need to be accurate or they are pick-6s. If you haven't noticed, there are some posters here who question AB's accuracy. His penchant to overthrow a slant or underthrow an out may actually have results that are worse than running a dive with 9 in the box. Also, when teams crowd the line, they can defend quite capable the short routes you are espousing. Where they have trouble defending is the over-the-top stuff. That is why, when he has had time (like the Wake game), AB can be effective throwing to wide open WRs (who still made the catch even though the ball was routinely late).

I am Spartacus.
I like AB and think he has a world of potential. But, the kid sure as hell ain't throwing darts out there.

Perhaps a whole new QB recruiting approach is warranted. Is BC the type of school that will attract the top dual threat QB? So far this type of recruiting has not been successful.
When I think of all the good three star pro style QBs that were recruited over the years, why wouldn't it make sense to go back to that approach? From Foley, Hasselback, St Piere, Paul Pete, Mattie, Retig etc, there was rarely ever such a long stretch of QB that couldn't throw.
BC923 {l Wrote}:It's not like you need a very athletic guy to run a modern offense either. It helps if they can move a little bit, but a QB who can throw opens a lot of doors. We should really be spreading the field out more. There's a reason everyone else is doing it, it creates bigger throwing windows. It's not even like you need to change personnel completely, splitting tight ends out wide creates matchup problems for the defense, and opens up space through the middle. Putting everyone between the hashes has its place, but to throw consistently out of it you need a really good QB.
Even to run, you don't need to be so athletic. See Chris Crane at FSU, 2008.

That was the one play in the 10%. Doesn't make up for the 35 slow developing off tackle counters on third down.

Totally agree Teddy. No more sweeps. That isn't working.
